User talk:RAVELATIONS

April 2009
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text   or email the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list.


 * A new username would be a good idea, as Wikipedia operates under the premise that all contributions are by individuals rather than organizations. However, the article you created was clearly promotional in nature, and therefore unacceptable.  You are not permitted to use Wikipedia to promote any organization, company or event, as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free webhosting service.  Can you provide evidence of this event's notability in accordance with our policies on verifiablility?


 * On a side note, the logo you posted on Commons includes the note that you do not permit free reuse, which is not acceptable at Commons. If you wish to post images under fair use rationales, they must be posted to Wikipedia, as Commons uses only freely reproducible content.  Acroterion  (talk)  21:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Question
The best way to show that you are not using Wikipedia for self-promotion is to make a promise that you will not write about yourself with your new username. Are you willing to make such a promise? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
